johnmy typing speed is good but for some reason I've just habitually learned to touch type since childhood without using my right pinky at all, I just reach over with my middle two fingers... I tried doing a vim tutorial and it made me suddenly hyper conscious of my deficiencies...
My brother's apparently been down this road before, pointed me here. Slower than normal because I was trying to reprogram my brain to use the right fingers, still felt decent by the end of it https://www.keybr.com/
my pinkie tendon hurts from all the P typing... it's not used to being strained this way... domino chain from "wants to learn vim properly" to giving myself tendonitis...
it just seems silly to learn a whole massive electron IDE like VS Code when I know I'm only gonna use 2% of the features. I've been doing love2d work in zerobrane which is lua-specific, I want a nice lightweight general option
jazz mickle@farawaythyer do you mean visual studio? vs code acts like a pretty good text editor most of the time
@farawaythyer i also recommend vscodium over vs code bc of microsoft shit
@jazz I'm a baby programmer and I know there's nothing wrong with using vs code, it is an electron app though and if I'm mostly just text editing I'd rather use something tiny and native
@farawaythyer i dunno what they did but it genuinely barely acts like an electron app. i also tried a ton of native options and couldn't get on with any of them (i rly dont wanna use anything connected to MS but codium is just that much better than everything else)
toffee the cat 🌸@farawaythyer @jazz ive been using sublime text for 10+ years and absolutely love it, but you do need to do some hand-twiddling for LSP support etc so i dont recommend it to people. vscode (vscodium) is Fine, it's not obscenely bloated considering how much you'll get out of the popular ecosystem, it'll really be worth it imhobbq
@farawaythyer @jazz (good to see u too<33)
@toffy @farawaythyer i wanna try some weirder options also but im kinda limited by odin being supported
@toffy @farawaythyer vimlike stuff is scary..
1-bit machine goth@farawaythyer @jazz @toffy if you decide to go with vim i highly recommend rebinding capslock to ctrl ALSO, did you know: ^[ (which means ctrl+[ ) is literally the same as pressing Escape (no more crampy pinky movements in either direction)
